DeathTpPlus
DeathTpPlus
DeathTpPlus announces a death with a random message based on the death cause and allows you to teleport to the point of death It can also create a TombStone at the place you died to let you save your inventory (aka DeadMansChest).You can also create a tomb sign which can be used as respawn point and as a place of information of how often you died and what your last death cause was.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to some issues with yaml you can get the following error: unacceptable character '?' " in the log, The fix is to remove the รค atm from the default messages and if you have custom messages to remove any of them using special characters. Sorry about that!
How does it work?
Take a look at how it works.. Videos
Also take a look at this picture to know what I'm talking about in the config file and on these pages
Based on the original plugin from lonelydime. Integrates a fork of furt from cenotaph and tomb from dark_balor.
PLEASE NOTE: Mung3r is taken over from here, he did already help me a lot and is willing to keep this plugin updated. THANKS a lot

Don't want one of the features? No worries! Just disable it in the config file and it'll be like that feature isn't in the plugin at all! The file IOs aren't called and neither are the methods used for those features. Worried about performance? Don't be!

FAQ
- Q: Colors are not working correctly in messages, what is wrong?
A: If you are using Essentials Chat turn that off, otherwise you need to live with it or ask Essentials Teams why that happens. - Q: What does "expected <block end>, but found Scalar" in my log messages mean?
A: Probably you forgot to use \" or ' to get a " - Q: I see a killed by X message but I did use /suicide from essentials or similar.
A: This is a bug of the other plugin not setting the death cause correctly. Nothing I can do. Sorry. - Q: If I die in a cave or in nether and use /deathtp I will teleport back to the place I died but on top of the world
A: Change teleportToHighestBlock: true to false but read the comments first in the config. - Q: Could you support RegionPlugin XYZ?
A: Not until a general API similar to Vault for economics comes out. I will support region plugins I use myself. - Q: Can I help you?
A: Sure, you can try the most recent dev-build... should be in sync with the github issues!!!

I am getting this quite often:
Is there any fix?
Ok so on the server I admin, when a player kills another player, 2 chests drop, both single chests but only one is locked. The locked one has a sign above it and only contains the player's head. The unlocked chest is filled with all of their gear.
When I kill a player, a double chest forms and it is locked as it should be, so this appears to be to do with permissions although I haven't found the relevant one. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
@Hangar
when using /deathtp to teleport to the nether, it will teleport you above bedrock. Also, if you have 50 monies and /deahttp costs 50 monies, it will say you don't have enough, instead, you will need 50.01 monies. Other than those two things, I can't really find anything wrong with it either.
@CommodoreAlpha
I think mung3r may have ripped out a lot of the original plugin in his version (based on what I saw in the source I think came from his jenkins after Don left). That might be why he never came here to give us an update for this feature set :p
In either case, I think it's pretty clear that either someone else is going to have to pick this up or I don't think it's happening. And I agree it was a great plugin. The death-chest placement almost never failed, unlike many other death-chest plugins. I consider that the most important thing really.
In fact, that part seems to be still working for me on 1.5.2. I turned off death messages since I have another plugin for that now. I'm not even sure what is/was allegedly broken about DTP under current versions of Bukkit. Does anyone know?
I wonder what mung3r's been up to these days... either forgot about this plugin, or is super busy. Despite majour internal reworking on the list (I can see why, with the vanilla death messages being changed and all), there hasn't been a dev build in months. Sad to see a great plugin go.
Killstreaks, and sounds dont work for the latest dev build (i am using my own custom .ogg sound files hosted on my own site not the github link in the config i know thats an invalid url)
I use the [Tomb] sign but they seem to break from time to time is it possible for the plugin to scan for the sign when its clicked and reactivate them, havent figured out yet why it happens. I notice some other plugins have this behaviour ?
I too am having the same problem as adoggy. Didn't start doing it until someone died on the server (myself).. At some point afterwards, it started churning out that error every so many seconds/minutes afterward, and is continuing to do so. I did make it back to my chest/rip sign and get my gear, if that matters.. Happened once before on someone else's death, and if memory serves me, I shut down the server, deleted that file, and restarted which solved the error being displayed, but something is not right.. I (like adoggy I'm guessing) am running CB1.4.7
@kdthehun
Ive been using http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/deathchest/ for the chest part and deathtpplus for clickable sign to return to death location ( but this has always been buggy for me breaks at odd times not sure why ) just had a look at 1.5.1 and it seems to work, still waiting for some more non-bukkit mods to get updated im using mcpc-plus
@Liger_XT5
Thanks. Yeah My players too miss 'em.
@kdthehun
I too am waiting for DeathTPPlus to have a fully working update.
Right now we're using DeadMan's Chest, though my donators are missing their /back to death/dynmap location features
The latest Dev version still drops all items instead of placing them in the chest... Anyone know a good substitute?
Thanks guys for the info.
Been a while since an update, but I get my dev versions of Deathtpplus here: http://ci.bighatchet.com/job/DeathTpPlus/
Well when Don left, he said:
"PLEASE NOTE: Mung3r is taken over from here, he did already help me a lot and is willing to keep this plugin updated. THANKS a lot"
But Mung3r hasn't spoken to us since that point (or maybe never) so maybe someone should PM him. It looks like he works on Vault and has been online just 2 days ago :)
Need a 1.5.1 update! Would be a shame to see this awesome plugin to become inactive. The New API and whatnot in 1.5.1 have made it so the plugin can no longer grab the items and stuff them into chests. The chest is created, but items are dropped. If i knew coding i would offer to help, but alas coding is just not meant for me.
My guess is that the lack of updates has been either due to the developer being extremely busy, or this on the to-do list:
"MAJOR Internal Reworking (that is really necessary)"
Plus, 1.5 changed how death messages worked somewhat as there are now more parameters for it.
Hey, I can't for the life of me work out how to make it so that Death Chests DON'T drop in World Guarded areas. I've tried switching back and forth between the "ignore world guard" option, but nothing seems to work :(
@Glacksy
Actually, yes it does. There's a setting you need to change. Check the documentation.
this is still working. barely...
